PAINT COMPOSITION.

1 116,293, Specification of Letters Patent.

No Drawing. Application filed- March 25, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HILARY L. HAESSLY and ADAM POSLER, both citizens ofthe United States, and residents of Theresa, in the county of Dodge andState of VVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Paint Compositions; and we do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof.

Our invention relates to a new composition for paint and it comprisescertain novel ingredients in the composition, as well as the novelmethod of preparing and mixing the same, all as hereinafter set forth.

The general object of the invention is the production of a paint madelargely from inexpensive materials. which will have more body and betterwearing qualities than paints of the same class now known to the trade.

A more specific object of the invention is the production of acomposition with which a surface may be thoroughly covered by theapplication of a single coat, thus effecting a great saving in labor,where it has hitherto been necessary to apply two or more coats of paintin order to completely cover the surface to which the paint is applied.

In the manufacture of our improved paint, we take one hundred parts ofclean white sand which is composed largely of silica, twenty five tofifty parts resin and twenty five parts calcareous material such asplaster of Paris, gypsum chalk or the like. These ingredients are groundas fine as possible, and thoroughly mixed together and gently heatedlong enough to drive off all moisture. We then take twenty five partscommercial white lead, ground in oil, and mix the same with a vehiclewhich may be gasoline, kerosene, linseed oil or the like, in theproportion of two and one half pounds of white lead to one gallon of thevehicle. The white lead and the vehicle are mixed to- Serial No.455,493.

gether separately and subsequently mixed with the first namedingredients. A pigment is then added to give the required color.

It is also to be noted that if a considerable amount of pigment is used,the amount of silicious and calcareous material should becorrespondingly reduced, in order not to have the paint too thick tospread readily.

While the proportions stated above appear to give the best results formost surfaces, it is to be understood that the proportions may be variedsomewhat, according to whether the surface to which it is to be appliedis hard and comparatively impervious, or rough and porous. Theproportions may also be varied according to whether the work is to beoutside or inside.

We have found that paint made according to the above formula ispractically water and sun proof. It may be used on brick, cement, wood,plaster or iron with satisfactory results. One coat will thoroughlycover the surface to which it is applied, even where a light color isapplied to a dark surface.

We claim:

1. A. paint composition consisting of silica, plaster of Paris, resinand white lead, all finely ground and mixed with a suitable vehicle.

2. A paint composition consisting of one hundred parts silica, twentyfive parts plaster of Paris, twenty five parts resin and twenty fiveparts white lead, all finely ground and mixed with a suitable vehicle inthe proportion of two and one half pounds white lead to one gallon ofthe vehicle.

In testimony that we' claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our handsat Theresa, in the county of Dodge and State of WIS- consin.
